FORMOSA FILES PODCAST S5-E2 - 228, White Terror, the Formosa Incident, and Nylon Deng: Part One
NOTE: This episode is not suitable for young children.
In part one, we begin in Saigon in 1963 before returning to Taiwan in the days before the nation became a full democracy. The stories and asides lead to Nylon Deng (Cheng Nan-jung 鄭南榕), a hardcore Taiwanese pro-democracy and pro-independence activist, who was born a few months after the 228 Incident in 1947. In 1989, after a long stand-off with the police, he chose self-immolation over arrest.
